TWENTY MINUTES LATE. All the way from King's Cross we had been steadily losing time. The rails were wet and the train unusually heavy. At York we were twenty minutes late. There the railway people attached an additional engine and the train entered the Waverley Station, Edin- burgh, that night on time. The principle is commonplace when you cannot diminish an excessive load, increase the power. But what is an excessive load? Gently, now. Wait a bit. On any correct scale one hundred pounds is one hundred pounds, but on the back of a porter it is one thing and on the back of a slender girl quite another. To the first it is nothing to notice, to the second it is crush- ing. In other words weight is a question of what supports it. This, then, is the principle on which we are to understand Mrs Margaret Williams' assert- ion that she was heavy some years ago. No doubt the weighing rnachne would have showed her some loùnds off her proper weight; for she was ill, out of sorts, and not eating anything to speak of. All the same, the lightier she got the heavier she felt; and when it comes to one's relation to one's own weight it is feelings and not the scales, that settles the point. For several years she dragged along in this unsatisfactory way; always weary and fatigued, as if from hard and continuous labour, when, in fact, she was doing scarcely any work at all. Indeed, her weakness was so great she could hardly get about. If Mrs Williams could have eaten heartily and digested her food well, it might be thought she would have recovered. But it was precisely because she could not do so that the illness came upon her. In other words she was suffering from chronic indiges- tion and its consequences. Let her tell her own story. Writing from her home, 8, Brook St., Taibach, near Port Talbot, on January 24th, 1903, she says "I could not digest the food I took, and in consequence it lay like lead on my chest, causing me excruciat- ing pain round the heart and between the shoulders, often followed by vomiting. I varied my diet, ceased to take solids and lived on bread and milk, but all to no purpose. Loss of sleep, splitting headaches, and flatulency added to my sufferings." The usual means of relief having been tried in vain, Mrs Williams resorted to Mother Seigel's Syrup, with what result she shall state herself: "After the first two bottles," she declares, I felt somewhat better, but a marked change took place after I had taken the third bottle. I could then eat without vomiting or experiencing any pain, felt my food was nourishing me, regained strength, I b 0 and in a short time was quite cured and have never suffered from indigestion since." Truly, no matter what the scales may aff- irm as to one's weight, one never feels en- cumbered by it so long as plenty of well-di- gested food furnishes the power and strength which should fillrit from head to heel. When digestion fails, the remedy-as shown in num- berless instances—is the same that restored again to Mrs Williams the vigour of health.

Rheilffordd Corwen a Bettwsycoed. Nos Wener, cynhaliwyd cyfarfod o Gynghor Dinesig Bettwsycoed, Mr Robert Parry yn y gadair. Cynygiwyd y penderfyniad canlynol gan Mr S. A. London, aeiod sydd newydd ei etbol,- Fod Ilythyr i gael ei anfou at Syr Joseph Wil- kinson, goruchwyliwr cyffredinol Cwmui Rheil- ffordd y Great Western, yn dangos iddo y manteision mawr fydd yn deilliaw i'r cwmni hwnw pe yr estynent y rbeilffordd fwriadedig o Gorwen i Fettwsycoed i Gaernarfon, hyd ffordd a ddangosid mewn cynllun a ainfonid gyda'i lythyr." Y ffordd y bwriedid i'r rheilffordd hon fyned ydoedd trwy Geunant Llanberis neu Nant Ffrancon, a thrwy Capel Curig, Penygwryd, a lleoedd eraill i Gaernarfon. Buasai hyny yn liawer mwy manteisiol, meddai Mr London, na'r rheilffordd ysgafn o Gorwen i'r Bettws. Galw- or' odd y cadeirydd am gefnogydd i'r cynygiad. Dy- wedodd Mr. John Hughes na hoffai wneud dim i ddrygu y rheilffordd fwriadedig o Gorwen i'r Bettws.—Yn ateb i hyn dywedodd Mr. London y buasai yn dda gan hyrwyddwyr y llinell hono roddi i fyny i reilffordd o'r maintioli arferol. Credai eraill o'r aelodau y buasai cynUun Mr. London yn niweidiol iawn i ardal Bettwsycoed, gan fod cynifer o ymwelwyr yn myned yno. Dy- wedodd Mr. Thos. Griffiths ei fod o'r un farn a Mr. London, na wnelai y rheilffordd ysgafn dda- ionl i'r Bettws. Gwnelai y rheilffordd ysgafn niwed mawr i'r ardal, ond gwnelai y rheilffordd o'r Bettws i Gaernarfon fwy o niwed. Ni chefn- ogwyd cynygiad Mr. London. Hyabysodd y cadeirydd fod llythyr wedi ei dderbyn oddiwrth Mri. Jones a Humphreys,Cyfreithwyr,Llanrwst, ar ran hyrwyddwyr rheilffordd Corwen a Bettws, yn gofyn i'r Cyvghor basio penderfyniad yn ffafr y mudiad, ar y tir y byddai'n fanteisiol i'r ardal, ac i bwyso ar y Cynghor Sirol a Dirprwywyr y Bheilffyrdd Ysgafn i'w chaniatau. Gofynodd am gynygiad ar y mater, ond gwrthwynebai Mr. Thos. Griffith am nad oedd y mater yn eael ei grybwyll ar raglen gwaith y cynghor. Dywed- odd y Cadeirydd ei bod yn amlwg nad oedd y cynghor yn ffafriol i'r mudiad, ac felly gadawai y mater ar y bwrdd.
